CHARGING OUTPUT:
Warm up the engine to normal operating temperature.
Stop the engine, and connect the multimeter as shown.
• To prevent short, make absolutely certain which are
the positive and negative terminals or cable.
• Do not disconnect the battery or any cable in the
charging system without first switching off the igni-
tion switch. Failure to follow this precaution can dam-
age the tester or electrical components.
Connect a techometer according to the tachometer
manufacture instruction.
Restart the engine.
With the headlight high beam, measure the voltage on
the multimeter when the engine runs at 5,000 min
STANDARD
Measured BV < Measured CV < 15.5V
• BV = Battery voltage (page ....)
• CV = Charging Voltage
LIGHTING OUTPUT:
Open the front handle bar cover (page 2-7).
(Do not remove headlight assy.)
Connect the voltmeter positive (+) probe to the headlight
Blue terminal, and negative (–) probe to the Green wire
terminal.
Start the engine and light switch is "ON" and the dimmer
switch is "Hi" position, and read the voltage.
REGULATED VOLTAGE:
12.6 – 13.6 V at 5,000 min
• Measure the voltage with the headlight wire
connectors connected.
CURRENT LEAKAGE INSPECTION
Remove front center cover & battery cover.
Turn the ignition switch off and disconnect the battery
negative cable from the battery.
Connect the ammeter (+) probe to the ground cable and
the ammeter (–) probe to the battery (–) terminal.
With the ignition switch off, check for current leakage.
